CAUGHT AT LAST.
NEW YORK, March 31.-At an early
hour Wednesday morning the Superin-
tendent of the pouch room of the regis
Office was startled at the discovery that
a package which had arrived late Tues
day night, in pouch No. II, sos, from
| Portland, Oregon, containing $40, 600 in
currency, was missing. He had check
ed the package off some time before,
and he could not imagine where it
could have gone, as no one was in the
Office except the clerks, eighteen
in number. The Superintendent wire
for Inspector DOsSer and detained the
clerks until Dosser arrived. DOsser
took the clerks to his Office
and as his subordinates were away,
he sent for Geo. F. Bangs, of the
| PinkertOn Agency to come and
| help him. The clerks were examined,
one at time and the examination con-
tinued all day and through the night,
until early this morning. Suspicion
pointed ia the direction of VIM. A.
Clark. clerk who has been in the de-
! partment for about five years. Clark
was examined last. For long time there
have been robberies in this department
and over sixty packages and letters
| have been stolen, the Inspector being
unable to entrap the thief. Clark is q
married man and lives in Brooklyn. He
was accused of stealing several of these
packages, but he steutly denied his
guilt. At noon to-day Inspector
Adsit made another search of the
registry Office and found the package
intact secreted beneath some rubbish
| in the bottom of a-cloSet. Clark finally
confessed he had stolen the package
and that he had also stolen the other
sixty packages that had been missing
from time to time for the past three
years He said he had committed
thefts to pay his debts. He was adj
dicted to drink and had gambled some.
1t is supposed that he had taken be-
tween 81 900 and 5000. Clark, after
he made his confession, was taken to
the Ludlow Street Jail. He will have
an examination tomorrow before the
United States Commissioner.

turned three patches of indictments

county fraud, there being a total OF
twenty-three presentments. Who the
indictments are against is purely 9
matter of speculation, no capiaseS hav-
ing yet been issued.
HARD TASK.
At O'Clock Judge Anthony left fol
home, saying that he would not come
back even if sent for. He arranged
with the Clerk of the Court as to The
! amount of bail in each case, and bonds
will be taken just as they were in the
case of Dan Wren, by the Clerk &C
! cepting the word of the bondsmen fol
} the appearance tomorrow OF the In
} dicted parties. The Grand Jury have
/ put in just twenty-one days of active
work on the boodler'S cases, and ye
